Details
What's wrong: Certain passenger vehicles not equipped with optional roof-mounted side impact air bags fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 201, 'occupant protection in interior impact.'
Why it matters: In a crash, head impact protection may be inadequate.
The fix: Dealers will install energy absorbing plastic to the headliner trim to reduce the severity of head impacts in a crash. The recall began on March 21, 2007.
